כִּ֣י כֹ֣ה אָֽמַר־יְ֠הוָה בּוֹרֵ֨א הַשָּׁמַ֜יִם ה֣וּא הָאֱלֹהִ֗ים יֹצֵ֨ר הָאָ֤רֶץ וְעֹשָׂהּ֙ ה֣וּא כֽוֹנְנָ֔הּ לֹא־תֹ֥הוּ בְרָאָ֖הּ לָשֶׁ֣בֶת יְצָרָ֑הּ אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה וְאֵ֥ין עֽוֹד׃
Sapagkat ganito ang sabi ng Walang-Hanggan, na lumikha ng mga langit—Siya ang Diyos—na humubog sa daigdig at gumawa nito; Siya ang nagtatag nito; hindi Niya ito nilikha upang maging tiwangwang, kundi hinubog Niya ito upang tirhan: Ako ang Walang-Hanggan, at wala nang iba.
Rashi
He did not create it for a waste but He formed it to be inhabited.
Ibn Ezra
He hath established it, as the habitation for men and beasts.
